Dec, 1922.] Knaus: Two New Forms of Cicindela. 195 



C. var. pacifica, C. var. hisignata, C. var. chihuahua: and C. punc- 

 tulata. 



The type locality is separated from the western limit of denvcren- 

 sis by the states of Nevada, Utah and half of Colorado. 



Dcnvercnsis occurs in April and May and again in September 

 and October while propinqua was taken the middle of August. 

 Dcnvercnsis is taken at elevations of from 2,500 to 5.500 feet, much 

 higher in altitude, it will be noted, than the type locality of propinqua. 



Cicindela pusilla \ ar. imperfecta, continua, new form. 



Same size and color as imperfecta, but differs in having the middle band, 

 where it approaches the margin, extended and joining the marginal end of 

 the apical lunule, thus making a continuous connection from the inner angu- 

 lation of the humeral lunule to the tip of the apical lunule. 



Specimens taken August 8. 1921, on the beach of Baldwin Lake 

 near Pine Knot, San Bernardino Mountains, California, elevation 

 8,500 feet. No variations in the elytral markings were observed in the 

 six specimens taken. Type and paratype in my collection and para- 

 types in the collection of McPherson College and Edwin A. Calder 

 collection. Providence, Rhode Island. 



At Ash Meadow, Nev., 16 miles northeast of Death Valley Junc- 

 tion, California, our expedition was fortunate in securing a hne 

 series of the extremely rare Cicindela nevadica. 



This species was described in 1871 by Leconte from a single 

 specimen without a recorded locality in Nevada. 



The type specimen is in the Leconte collection at Harvard Uni- 

 versity and an excellent figure of this species appeared in Schaupp's 

 paper on North American Cicindelid?e, published in the bulletin of 

 the Brooklyn Entomological Society for 1876. This with a single 

 specimen in the Philadelphia Academy of Science collection were 

 the only specimens known until August 21, 1919, when Mr. Morgan 

 Hebard. of the Philadelphia Academy of Science, while collecting 

 Orthoptera at Ash Meadow took ten specimens. He reported them 

 as exceedingly wary and difficult to catch. 



Our expedition reached Ash Meadow August 14 and made head- 

 quarters at the old Fairbanks ranch house on the north edge of 

 the Meadow. About a half mile south of the home at the margin of 

 a stream, fed by one of the numerous springs along, the north
